Chinese Ministry
Overview
We seek to provide pastoral care to Chinese Catholics, enriching their life of faith in the Church, as well as to evangelize non‑believing Chinese who are not served by established communities due to distance or other circumstances. With the continuous influx of Chinese communities into Vancouver, we are committed to doing more to support the faithful and to reach out to those who do not yet believe.

Events
Feast of the Chinese Martyrs
Every year on July 9, we celebrate a special Mass in memory of the martyrs and saints of China. This Feast commemorates the martyrdom of St. Augustine Zhao Rong and 119 companions. From the 17th century to 1930, 120 men and women of every age and state of life – priests, consecrated women and men, and lay people, including Western missionaries – sealed their fidelity to Christ by laying down their lives for the faith.
Chinese New Year Celebration
Every year, we celebrate Chinese New Year with Mass and gather as a community for a special dinner with priests, deacons, and sisters.
Contact
